mcjakeqcool Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well of coarse it was'ent gonna sell well, who plays a PC/Console combo with a joystick?! A mouse maybe, but not a joystick I mean how the hell do you play Populous with a joystick, you can't! It is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I mean how the hell do you play Populous with a joystick, you can't! It is impossible. Um, Populous was never released on the A8. Remember this is circa-1979 hardware we're talking about here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ....since Atari frequently hired heralds to proclaim sales figures to the common man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Looks like Atari didnt sell sh*t from the XE line.............Look at the sale sfigures for the last year of the 5200 (86) in the 5200 forum posting Curt made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Of course, the ST was in its prime and 8-bit users were defecting to ST (or other 16-bit) at an alarming rate during these years. It would be interesting to see 1982-1985 data when it was just A8 vs. Commodore 64 (and others), although we know A8 never sold [as] well.

mcjakeqcool Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Atari juggled the 2600 jr, the 7800, the XE, the Lynx, the 8 bit line and the ST in the late 80s, the only thing missing was the 5200 and the Jaguar (for obvious reasons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I saw reports for software but am I missing XE computer unit sales? Trying to wrap my head around how many XE Game Systems Atari USA actually sold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
